Ozzy Osbourne slams Kanye West for ‘Iron Man’ sample on ‘Vultures’: ‘I want no association with this man’
Ozzy Osbourne wants nothing to do with Kanye West’s crazy train.
The 75-year-old rock legend bashed West, 46, Friday on X for including a sample of Black Sabbath’s “Iron Man” in a song on West and Ty Dolla $ign’s upcoming album, “Vultures.”
“@kanyewest ASKED PERMISSION TO SAMPLE A SECTION OF A 1983 LIVE PERFORMANCE OF ‘IRON MAN’ FROM THE US FESTIVAL WITHOUT VOCALS & WAS REFUSED PERMISSION BECAUSE HE IS AN ANTISEMITE AND HAS CAUSED UNTOLD HEARTACHE TO MANY,” Osbourne wrote.
“HE WENT AHEAD AND USED THE SAMPLE ANYWAY AT HIS ALBUM LISTENING PARTY LAST NIGHT. I WANT NO ASSOCIATION WITH THIS MAN!”
The Post has contacted reps for Osbourne and West for comment.
Worth noting — Ozzy and his wife Sharon dressed as West and his wife Bianca Censori for Halloween last year.
“Happy Halloween 🤘,” Sharon captioned an Instagram photo of the pair in costume.
The Prince of Darkness’ complaint comes after West, now known as Ye, hosted a live “Vultures” listening party at Chicago’s United Center on Thursday.
Veeps, the streaming service that broadcasted the event, seemingly shut down the feed quickly after a lyric where Ye says, ” And I’m still crazy, bipolar, antisemite. And I’m still the king.”
The title track of “Vultures” also included the vile lyric: “How am I antisemitic? I just f – – ked a Jewish bitch.”
This isn’t the first time West has sampled Black Sabbath. He interpolated “Iron Man” in his 2010 song “Hell of a Life,” which is included on the Grammy-winning album “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.”
Last month, Ozzy praised T-Pain on X after the avid autotune user performed a viral live rendition of “War Pigs.”
“This is the best cover of ‘War Pigs’ ever,” Osbourne declared in a quote tweet.
He added: “Why didn’t you guys call me?”
